Ruth Borun Lecture Series featuring:
John and Molly Chester
of The Biggest Little Farm

In this timely and dynamic presentation, John Chester will take us through the triumphs, tragedies, and lessons learned while he and his wife Molly built Apricot Lane Farms. Clips from the soon to be released The Biggest Little Farm:The Series will show how they learned to see beyond conventional, human solutions to farming problems, and instead embrace subtler solutions that nature offers.

Please note: Due to network distribution restrictions, video clips from The Biggest Little Farm: The Series will be shown exclusively to our in-person audience. The Zoom broadcast will include the live speakers but not the series footage.

Afterward, Molly will join John for an extended Q and A session. For more information on the Chesters, see our Ruth Borun Lecture Series Page.
